Christian Book Services
has launched new imprint Clovercroft Publishing, which will focus on general
topics from Christian authors.

Clovercroft will launch
12 new books through Ingram this summer and fall. Releasing May 26, the
imprint’s lead title is Unbreakable by Thom Shea, a 23-year veteran of
the Navy SEALs who has won Silver Star and Bronze Star medals during multiple
deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. As the head of the Navy SEAL sniper
school, Shea had the distinction of training several now-famous SEAL members,
including Marcus Luttrell, who is played by Mark Wahlberg in the film Lone
Survivor; the late Chris Kyle, whose book American Sniper became a
No. 1 New York Times best-seller; Seal Team 6, which took down Osama bin
Laden; and the sniper team that rescued Captain Phillips.

Unbreakable: A Navy SEAL’s Way of Life, began as a series of
letters She wrote to his children in the event he didn’t return from his
missions. Over several years, he added advice on life based on his SEAL
training. He retired from active duty December 2013, and now runs a consulting
service called Adamantine Alliance. The advice in the book can be used to
benefit companies in their business strategies, but can also be used by
individuals.

The book is timed to come
out for Memorial Day. However, the Kindle version Unbreakable has
already hit Amazon’s best-seller lists, ranking in the top 25 in Business
Life/Motivation & Self Improvement, Management & Leadership/Motivational
and Biographies/Business.

Christian Book Services
launched its first imprint, Carpenter’s Son Publishing, in May 2010 after
founder Larry Carpenter stepped down as president of Standard Publishing.

“We are thrilled to be
able to continue the growth of our company by moving in to this new area of
Christian publishing,” Carpenter said. “We thank STL for enabling us to grow
and look forward to a long relationship with them in the distribution of our
Christian-themed books. And we look forward to working with Ingram to make our
general topic books, such as Unbreakable,
a big success.”

Clovercroft and
Carpenter’s Son will be carried by all wholesale distributors, but the primary
warehousing and sales will be handled by each respective contract distributor.
